Answered by Greg Hands
In due course, Britain will be leaving the EU. This offers us an opportunity to forge a new
role for ourselves in the world as a positive and powerful force for free trade. The Prime Minister has established the Department for International Trade to promote British trade across the world and ensure the UK takes advantage of the huge opportunities open to us. The Government is currently reviewing its trade policy. We will engage fully on this with a broad range of stakeholders over the coming weeks and months.
